Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. announced on May 7, 2025, the successful completion of the full separation of its Studio and STARZ businesses into two independent, publicly traded companies. Lionsgate Studios commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol LION.
The separation, approved by over 99% of shareholders at a special meeting on April 23, also involved collapsing the former dual share structure into a single class of stock. This move is designed to unlock incremental value by creating focused, standalone entities.
As a pure-play content company, Lionsgate is now positioned to release 30 to 40 films annually, including a dozen wide theatrical releases, and produce over 100 television shows. The company will manage a library of more than 20,000 film and television titles and operate 3 Arts Entertainment, a talent management and production company.
